“…The majority of participants in the studies were men (averagely 91.2%), and all were aged between 16 and 68 years (mean of study means=39.23±4.29 years). The majority (89.25%) of studies were rated medium to high on the JBI Quality Rating Scale: 58 of 90 studies, for example, [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] rated ≥70% (high), 23 studies, for example, 18 44-49 rated 50%-69% (medium), and 9 studies, for example, 17 50-57 rated <50% (low) (table 1).…”

“…65 94 Four longitudinal studies 33 47 101 102 further reported shorter sleep duration of less than 7 hours during work periods; with offshore rotation workers reporting an average acute sleep loss of 1.32 hours per day (95% CI: 88.6 to 94.9 min), and chronic sleep loss of 21.20 hours (SD=08.10 hours) per rotation or work period. 33 Seven of the studies compared and found shorter sleep duration during on-shifts than on off-shifts, for both day and night shifts. 31 71 72 97-100 103 For instance, one longitudinal study found 'total sleep time' for days off (7.0±1.9 hours) was longer than day (6.0±1.0 hours) and night (6.2±1.6 hours) shifts (p<0.001).…”

“…34 A longitudinal study reported fatigue was lower during pre-shift than post-shift periods, but increased and accumulated faster by 0.03 points per day (on a 1-9 scale) (95% CI=0.00 to 0.07; p=0.037) in postshifts compared with pre-shift periods. 33 A similar longitudinal study found that daily subjective post-shift fatigue increased by 0.05 points per day (on a 1-9 scale) (95% CI=0.02 to 0.08, p=0.004) and over a 2-week offshore work period, 32 though daily objective fatigue (eg, performance on a reaction time task measured by reaction times) was stable (1.00; 95% CI=0.99 to 1.00) over the course of the offshore work period. 32 Another longitudinal study reported among onshore rotation workers critical levels of fatigue at the end of the day 1-3 of night shifts and after the 7th day of a day shift.…”

Health and well-being of rotation workers in the mining, offshore oil and gas, and construction industry: a systematic review

IntroductionRotation work, characterised by travelling long distances to work in isolated areas where workers typically rotate consecutive days working and living on-site with periods at home, is increasingly used in the resources and construction sectors globally. Such employment practices may have an impact on workers’ health and well-being. This systematic review explores the impact rotation work has on mental and physical outcomes in rotation workers in the resources and construction sectors.MethodThe PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases were systematically searched on 1 May 2020 to identify quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method studies addressing the health of rotation workers published in peer-reviewed journals. Findings from the studies were summarised narratively.ResultsOf 6268 studies retrieved, 90 studies were included in the review. Studies suggested higher prevalence of psychological distress in onshore rotation workers and higher overweight/obesity rates among rotation workers as compared with the general population. We found more sleep problems and higher levels of smoking during work periods compared with off-site days; and higher alcohol intake during off-site days compared with on-site days. Workers generally perceived their physical health status as good. High-perceived job demands (such as workload, repetitive work) were associated with mental distress and exhaustion, sleep problems and perceived poor physical health status, while high-perceived job resources (such as job clarity/control, support) were associated with low mental distress and exhaustion, less smoking and alcohol intake, and better sleep.ConclusionRotation work is associated with several poorer health behaviours and outcomes, such as sleep problems, smoking, alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity. Interventions needed to improve rotation workers’ health should include maximising available job resources and reducing job demands. Further longitudinal studies are needed to explore the long-term health effects of rotation work and the short-term contextual effects of the different aspects of rotation work.

“…Workers who work nights permanently also often have complaints of lack of sleep and fatigue. Criteria that were often used to consider the use of a work shift system include the length of work every day must not exceed 8 hours, the number of consecutive night shifts must be as small as possible, each night shift must be followed by at least 24 hours of rest, each shift plan must have an end the free week, the number of free days at the end of the year must be at least as much as the worker's sustainability days (Cheng & Drake, 2019;Riethmeister et al, 2019;Winarsunu, 2008).…”

Various health problems are known from shift works. PT. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) as a car manufacturing in Indonesia is a large industry that applies a shift work system for the workers. This study aims to see the relationship between shift work system in the Stamping Division of PT. TMMIN. The measurement works by using the reaction time method on the worker the shift (shift I/morning and shift II/night) and non-shift during the workday flash. Based on the average measurement of reaction time for the shift workers I was 284.79 milliseconds and shift worker II was 307.76 milliseconds. The risk of reaction time increase was 3.222 times due to shift works compared to non-shift workers. Based on the value of reaction time, shift workers in PT. TMMIN recommends a repair per shift after work on the eighth day for shift I and twelfth day for shift II.

“…Early fatigue causes workers to experience a decrease in work performance and productivity, especially for companies that apply for shift work until night. Shift work can cause interference with circadian rhythms [25]. In this study, the workers work for 8 hours, from 8.00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (with a 1-hour break).…”

In general, the manufacturing industry relies more on machine-based processes. However, in certain activities, human labor is still needed due to the limitations of the machine function, as humans are faster than the machine. However, the activities using human muscle power are at risk of postural stress and early work fatigue. Work fatigue will affect work performance and productivity. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), which do not consider work attitude, will result in inconvenience at work and complaints on body parts and decreased performance. Besides, it also causes the inability to meet production targets so that employees cannot reach the maximum wage, and the company suffers losses. The redesign of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is needed to make people as the center of all improvement activities. The design used in this study was treatment by subject design. The results showed that there were differences (p <0.05) between pre- and post-intervention results, Decreased postural stress complaints (moment of compressive force) in posture 1 (7.31%), posture 2 (23.09%), and posture 3 (4.74%). In comparison, the reduction of work fatigue was obtained from 81.26±10.85 to 70.87±3.68 (12.78%). After the implementation of ergonomic-based SOPs, there was an increase in employee income by 25.23% or (IDR 2,068,091/month) and an increase in company profits (IDR 51,702,286/month). The implementation of ergonomic-based SOPs was able to reduce postural stress, fatigue, and to increase employee income and company profits.
